Abstract
A simple equation is presented that describes the rotation of art image by a mirror or prism, and that can be used to calculate the amount of image rotation in a complex optical system. The equation also provides an intuitive understanding of heretofore mystical1 optical devices such as derotation prisms (for example, the dove prism).
